San Antonio College
2014 - 2016
Graduated from the Alamo Districts specifically San Antonio College. I earn an Associate of Arts with a concentration in Psychology from San Antonio College. In college I learned, saw, and developed an interest in education. I saw that "Oh wow, I can do this. This takes time but it's pretty easy" While a student at San Antonio College I became a member of Phi Theta Kappa, among other education related organizations and earned a place San Antonio College's Dean's list twice.
University of Texas at Austin
2016 - 2018
After completed my Associate of Arts degree from San Antonio College I became a student at the University of Texas at Austin. I was invited to enroll into an Honor's program at the University of Texas at Austin's and would have been enabled to a write a thesis on a chosen topic but learn that if I enrolled into the Honors Program, I would not be able to join a PhD program, specifically a pre-PhD program, that enrolls students that are underrepresented in PhD programs across our nation, country, and actually the world at a high rate. I volunteered a lot time across many organizations. I planned on completing my Bachelor's degree at the University of Texas at Austin.
University of Arizona
2018-present
After withdrawing from the University of Texas at Austin and the McNair Scholars program I enrolled into the University of Arizona. I still use the information such as the scholarly articles, researcher title, and research titles material and/or content including my experiences and the resources provided to me in Austin, Texas and while attending the University of Texas at Austin and enrolled in the prestigious McNair Scholars program. I enrolled into the University of Arizona where I am a senior studying Psychology with a minor in Adolescents, Community, and Education, or ACE, for short. I work smart, long, and hard but am still happy to say I have excellent grades and I will soon attend graduate school at the University of Oxford or the University of Cambridge, but a lot comes before even submitting my application. I will hopefully stay around education for the rest of my entire life even volunteering, interning, or working in a hospital in Europe. It's easier to say I like school, it's what I do but it is actually an acquired taste.
